Antifa militants assaulted Today is America personality and undercover reporter Cam Higby in Seattle, WA, this Father’s Day weekend, giving him a concussion. Today is America is a “pro-American Gen Z, Anti-woke” media production company in Charlotte, North Carolina, with around 10 employees. One of their investigative journalists, Higby, was reporting the anti-ICE riots at the Seattle federal building over the weekend when he was attacked and posted the video on X yesterday, according to 770KTTH.

Just weeks prior, Higby had attended the Seattle Town Hall protest in late May, where evangelical and conservative protesters clashed with trans-activist counter-protesters, he said on 770KTTH's The Jason Rantz Show. Disguised, Higby pretended to be a counter-protester and recorded one such activist, Tyler Hahn, screaming at a woman and her infant. Later, Hahn stole Higby’s hat, accusing him of being an undercover reporter.

Not long after the protests, Hahn uncovered Higby’s identity and messaged him on Instagram with death threats, saying, “You know leftists own guns? Don’t find out. Or go ahead and FAFO (f*** around and found out). But for now, it’s uhhhhhh buh-bye. See you soon.”

Hahn is featured on Antifawatch.net and has even posted an Instagram video about burning the American flag, claiming, “We love America.”

This weekend, Higby was again in Seattle at the federal building where protestors blocked traffic, destroyed cars, set fires to trash bags, and exploded fireworks near buildings, according to MyNorthwest. Disguised, Higby wore all black and carried a gas mask to protect himself from pepper spray, as well as a helmet to shield against flying projectiles. 

At one point, rumors spread that the SPD (Seattle Police Department) was deploying, so Higby removed his mask to put on his gas mask. Next, he sat down to look at his phone on the street. Then three masked men ran towards Higby, one shouting, “Hey, Cam. It’s time for you to leave.” 

Suddenly, Higby couldn't see anything. Some hands covered his gas mask visor, trying to unscrew his mask's filter. A man held Higby to the ground in a chokehold. Then he punched Higby twice from behind and kicked him in the face before the other men held the attacker back, allowing Higby to get up and pepper-spray him.

Higby’s helmet had fist-shaped dents bored into it. If it wasn’t for the helmet, Higby may have been seriously injured or killed. Either way, according to his X posts, Higby is suffering a concussion, which might put him out of work for a while. 

One of the other masked men, whom Higby identified as Hahn, tried holding back the primary aggressor. “Jack! Jack! Jack!” he screamed in the video. “Let him go.” But Jack kept holding Higby down and punching him until the others pulled him back.

Journalist Katie Daviscourt, who also works with Today is America, uncovered that the assailant was Jeremy Lawson of Monroe, WA. He uses the alias “Jack Rack” and has been involved in Antifa for years. One photo Daviscourt posted on her X account shows Lawson with an Antifa-affiliated tattoo, "ACAB" (All Cops Are Bastards), on his left arm. Lawson has an extensive criminal record, including assault, burglary, harassment, and resisting arrest. While on the streets in Seattle, Daviscourt also grabbed footage of Lawson setting fire to bags. 

Additionally, Lawson and Hahn have communicated with each other on social media. 

Most likely, Hahn rallied Lawson and others to root out Higby in Seattle and intimidate him. However, Lawson became violent, punching Higby, while Hahn tried restraining him. Another video showed Lawson recovering from Higby’s pepper spray and calling him a “Nazi reporter.” 

The two Antifa militants, Hahn and Lawson, continue exposing the left-wing “anti-fascist” hypocrisy. They claim to be the good guys fighting for justice and peace. Yet, these antifa members are criminals and dress the part by wearing black, hiding their faces, and being extremely violent. These Antifa cowards suckerpunch reporters and hand out death threats.

Higby is another recent victim of Antifa extremism and shows how terrifying and anti-American this group is. Thankfully, the SPD has taken an interest in this incident and is opening an investigation into Lawson's assault on journalist Cam Higby. Both Hahn and Lawson must be held accountable for their anti-American violence and be prosecuted and arrested.
